In the tranquil Tianshui training room, sunlight poured gently through the floor-to-ceiling windows, draping the space in a dreamlike veil.
The girls slightly closed their eyes, stretching their bodies elegantly. Every movement was like a dancing butterfly—graceful and agile. This was precisely the good stuff Fu Ye had pulled from the system: Top-Tier Yoga Technique.
Unlike the yoga on Earth that only improves one's figure, this technique supposedly originated thousands of years ago before its inheritance was mysteriously severed. It allowed practitioners to expand their meridians in a short time to boost cultivation speed. Although this expansion was temporary, it was a hidden gem Fu Ye found while browsing the system mall.
Currently, Fu Ye was sitting gently behind Han Ruyan. As the Academy Dean, she shouldn't have been practicing alongside the students, but she was genuinely fascinated by this yoga technique.
"Big Brother Fu Ye, after finishing this set of movements, I feel the circulation of soul power in my body has become much faster!"
A hint of excitement and a slight blush appeared on Han Ruyan's stunning face. After all, this was the first time she had ever been so close to a man.
Compared to her excitement, Fu Ye's eyes held a trace of dissatisfaction. The effects this yoga could achieve were far beyond what Han Ruyan was currently experiencing.
"Your movements aren't very standard. Although that set just now temporarily opened certain acupoints, it's merely a half-finished product at best."
Fu Ye didn't object to her calling him "Big Brother." Since she called Liu Erlong "Sister," and according to normal calculations, he should technically be in his forties—though his age was perpetually locked.
"Ah? Is that so? I did feel a slight blockage in the flow of soul power in some areas." Han Ruyan instantly understood the reason.
"Let me teach you; that's the fastest way to learn."
Fu Ye leaned forward, instantly moving close to her.
"Erlong, Xiao Wu, Wu Ling, Zhuqing, Bing'er... you nine watch closely. I'll demonstrate with Dean Ruyan."
"With proper training, this Top-Tier Yoga only takes half an hour to open all the acupoints in the body. While not permanent, it lasts for a day, and your cultivation speed will increase by 50% to 100% during that time."
Hearing that their cultivation speed could double, the nine girls' eyes filled with excitement (though Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong were mostly just interested in the movements themselves).
"Ruyan, I'm starting." "Mhm!" o(￣▽￣)o
Fu Ye stood behind Han Ruyan, his body pressed fully against her back. His palms gently grasped her wrists. Under the watchful and curious eyes of the others, he guided her through various yoga poses most effective for opening acupoints.
[Han Ruyan's current Affection: 83%]
A smile played on the corner of Fu Ye's mouth. The secret of this yoga was to forcibly open the body's acupoints through various poses, much like clearing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Although it only lasted about a day, it could be performed indefinitely. As long as one's physical strength held out, the cultivation boost remained.
Fu Ye's technical guidance lasted nearly half an hour. Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er, Xiao Wu, and the other six were constantly trying the difficult poses Fu Ye demonstrated with Dean Ruyan.
Before long, Han Ruyan was drenched in sweat, a misty heat rising from her body—a sign of the acupoints opening. In this state, a Spirit Master's energy consumption would spike, but their cultivation speed would increase dramatically. To prevent energy depletion, Fu Ye had prepared plenty of nourishing meals beforehand.
"Alright, I've helped you open 99% of your acupoints. Only the last step remains."
Han Ruyan's sweat soaked her clothes, and her cheeks were flushed. She felt somewhat dazed and even stumbled back against Fu Ye. After being "suppressed" for half an hour, "Little Pangu" could finally no longer contain itself, standing tall toward the dark sky.
Han Ruyan noticed the abnormality. Her beautiful blue eyes flickered with avoidance, yet she made no move to pull away. Seeing this, Fu Ye guided the Tianshui Dean through several more high-difficulty poses, and Little Pangu's posture became even more arrogant.

As the system notification sounded, Fu Ye guided Han Ruyan into the final pose. Fu Ye supported himself on all fours, face-up in a bridge arch, with Han Ruyan lying on top of him. She seemed somewhat ashamed, her cheeks turning even redder than before.
Thump.
Han Ruyan felt a muffled sound deep within her body. Following that sound, she felt her meridians become even clearer than before!
"Nngh!"
Fu Ye's Little Pangu was now pressed tightly against Han Ruyan's back. That powerful presence made even this Dean, who usually advocated for a lack of interest in men, blush up to her eyebrows.
"Alright, Dean Ruyan. I assume you've mastered the essence of opening acupoints. Next, you can teach Xiao Wu, Erlong, and the others."
Han Ruyan was only 1.63m tall. In front of the 1.85m Fu Ye, she looked as tiny as a lolita. Fu Ye patted her ice-blue hair as if coaxing a little girl, an act that drew envy from the other eight girls (except Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong).

"Big Brother Fu Ye, can you help Yue'er train? I feel like there are many things I don't quite understand," Shui Yue'er called out, acting cute and waving her hand.
What could Fu Ye do? They were all his students. Since they asked, he could only provide some "standardized guidance" on their poses.
Shui Yue'er and the others weren't as flexible as the Dean, so their movements were mostly stiff. Fu Ye prepared to put them through a round of flexibility training. Spirit Master girls in Douluo Continent generally had excellent physical conditions, and with the daily nourishment of soul power, their bodies had great potential for stretching.
A quarter of an hour later...
Fu Ye was sitting face-to-face with the young Shui Yue'er, though the expression on her face was one of slight pain. Indeed, Fu Ye was helping her train her split.
The Tianshui Academy uniform consisted of ice-blue clothing, white silk gloves, and special white stockings with a hint of lace. These stockings were breathable while providing support. Shui Yue'er was currently lying back as Fu Ye helped press her legs into a full split.
"Hiss~ Yue'er's legs hurt a bit from the pressure..."
Shui Yue'er's expression held a hint of agony. Much like ordinary dance students, flexibility training always involved painful memories.
"Be a good girl, Little Yue'er. Only by adapting to this intensity can you later open your acupoints through yoga like your Dean. In the future, this can double your cultivation speed. Just consider it a small sacrifice for your training."
